Inspiration

There is no such thing as an attention span.  There is only the quality of what you are viewing.

~ Jerry Seinfeld

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.

~ Albert Einstein

The avant garde is somebody rediscovering the classics.

~ Robert Wilson

Don’t be too timid and squeamish about your action.  All life is an experiment.  The more experiments you make the better

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

As many spiritual seekers know, to realize the truth of being is one thing, but to live it is quite another.  In order to live the truth realized, we must be willing to embrace change, insecurity and risk.  Fear must be overcome by the motivation of love.  Only through love and wisdom can we find the way to live the truths of inner revelation.

~ Adyashanti

Knowing that the mountain has no top, that it is a perpetual quest from plateau to plateau, the question arises, “Why the struggle, the conflict, the heartbreak, the danger, the sacrifice.  Why the constant climb?”  Our answer is the same as that which a real mountain climber gives when he is asked why he does what he does.  “Because it’s there.”  Because life is there ahead of you and either one tests oneself in its challenges or huddles in the valleys in a dreamless day-to-day existence whose only purpose is the preservation of an illusory security and safety.  The latter is what the vast majority of people choose to do, fearing the adventure into the unknown.  Paradoxically, they give up the dream of what may lie ahead on the heights of tomorrow for a perpetual nightmare – an endless succession of days fearing the loss of a tenuous security.

~ Saul Alinsky, “Rules for Radicals”
